Glory to God, and Praise and Love

Verse 1

Glory to God,
and praise and love
be ever, ever given,
by saints below and saints above,
the church in earth and heaven.

Verse 2

On this glad day
the glorious Sun
of Righteousness arose;
on my benighted
soul he shone
and filled it with repose.

Verse 3

Sudden expired the
legal strife,
’twas then I ceased to grieve;
my second, real,
living life
I then began to live.

Verse 4

Then with my heart
I first believed,
believed with faith divine,
power with the
Holy Ghost received,
to call the Savior mine.

Verse 5

I felt my Lord’s
atoning blood
close to my soul applied;
me, me he loved,
the Son of God,
for me, for me he died!

Verse 6

I found and owned
his promise true,
ascertained of my part,
my pardon passed
in heaven I knew
when written on my heart.

Verse 7

O for a thousand
tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer’s praise!
The glories of
my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.

Verse 8

My gracious Master
and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all
the earth abroad
the honors of thy name.

Verse 9

Jesus! the name
that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
’tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’tis life, and health, and peace!

Verse 10

He breaks the power
of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can
make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
